If you’ve spent a few winters here in Columbia, you know how unpredictable they can be. One day it’s chilly and gray, and the next you’re wondering if it’s too early to pull the grill back out. That constant change, warm days, cold nights, and just enough frost to do damage, can quietly wear your lawn down.
At Fairway Lawns, we help your yard get through the off-season healthy and ready for spring. Even when your grass looks like it’s taking a break, it’s still alive underneath, roots are growing, the soil’s shifting, and nutrients are being stored.
Every yard across the Midlands has its own personality. Maybe yours sits under tall pines in Irmo, or maybe it bakes in full sun near Lake Murray. We’ve seen it all, and we tailor our approach to fit what your yard actually needs.
We use slow-release fertilizers that feed your lawn gently through the cooler months. It’s not about forcing fast growth; it’s about nourishing the roots so they stay healthy until spring.
Cool-season weeds like chickweed, henbit, and clover love our mild winters. We target them early so they don’t get a head start before your grass wakes up.
Winter’s a great time to test and balance your soil. Columbia’s rain and clay can throw off your pH, so we adjust it now to make sure fertilizers and treatments work their best later.
Milder winters mean pests and fungus don’t always go away. We inspect your lawn for early signs of disease or overwintering insects and stop problems before they spread.
In Columbia, the sweet spot for winter lawn treatment is late November through early February, after your grass slows down, but before the ground cools too much. That’s when the soil can still absorb nutrients and build root strength.
Yes. Fertilizing in winter gives your grass the nutrients it needs to build deeper roots and store energy for spring.
Avoid walking on frosty grass, keep leaves and debris off your yard, and schedule winter treatments before the first deep cold hits.
You’ll likely see slower spring growth, weaker color, and more weeds, all of which are harder to fix once the growing season starts.
It depends on your lawn’s size and condition, but most Columbia homeowners find our seasonal plans affordable, and worth it when spring arrives.
Winter is when the real work happens, quietly, beneath the surface. Give your lawn the care it needs now, and it’ll pay you back tenfold in spring. Call or text Fairway Lawns today for winter lawn treatment in Columbia, SC, and let our local team help your grass rest, recharge, and come back stronger than ever.
